LCNF project funding £300,000<br />

Project objectives The project objective was to demonstrate the integration of a number of smart grid components within an established<br />

infrastructure and facilitate the development of solutions in a number of areas including power quality, HV/LV automation, autosectionalising<br />

/ load-transfer etc. The application of the latest technologies on various smart grid components on a relatively<br />

small network aimed to:<br />

• Assist with the development of efficient and effective solutions.<br />

• Provide learning outcomes not only on the smart aspects of the grid infrastructure but on design standards, network<br />

voltages and utilisation of assets.<br />

• Inform industry and the supply chain on smart grid challenges and solutions.<br />

Overview of assessment, sources of evidence and comments<br />

Assessment:<br />

The project clearly facilitates the connection of low carbon generation or demand.<br />

Evidence:<br />

Part of the project was about trialling simultaneous measurement of voltage at various points on the<br />

network in order to inform design and operational practice with respect to impact of generation. The aim<br />

would be to allow more generation to be accommodated. The other methods trialled bring additional<br />

carbon benefits.<br />
